The British are an odd bunch, wanting to go long-haul in the summer months during hurricane or monsoon season. Crazy when you consider that the weather is probably a lot better with just a 2-4 hour flight within Europe in the summer months.
LOL read some of the reviews of the Canary Island hotels from the summer on trip advisor or some of the travel reviews sites........
No air conditioning ,
too hot
too sunny
brouchure said it wouldn't be that hot.etc etc
Kind of like you heading to equator in Summer and you expect it to be mild.
Reading the traveller review sites is hilarious as Americans insist that for a 11am flight from Heathrow / Gatwick you should stay overnight as trains out of London won't work etc etc and be at airport for 7am. Europeans a lot more chilled thinking an hour is ok,
